		On the North Shore Line, as in many similar safety initiatives in other railroad and manufacturing companies during the 1910s and 1920s, organizational change usually involved the creation of a safety department, the appointment of a safety engineer, and the formation of safety committees in which both workers and managers participated.
		The details about the South Shore Line’s reconstruction between 1925 and 1929 have been told elsewhere in two standard histories of the railroad and have become something of legend and oral tradition among certain railroad history enthusiasts.
		The South Shore Line that Samuel Insull, Jr., took charge of 15 July 1925 was held together for the next year, he later recalled, with “baling wire and chewing gum.” On 10 April 1926 the fragile interim system failed.

	North Shore Line Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I've been studying the railway line in question (the North Shore Line, for those familiar with Sydney) for some time, and we could think of this as a scientific study in the traditional sense.
		Not only that, but my North Shore Line Theory is a very good one, and I can inerrantly predict what station a train will pass next given its current position and heading.
		As far as North Shore Line Theory is concerned, I don't have a scientific explanation.

	Reflections on North Shore Line Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Even so, the assumption that the line is static happens to be true nearly all the time, and it is absolutely necessary to have an assumption of this sort if the theory is to make any predictions.
		My North Shore Line Theory would have been true throughout the entire process (as St Leonards remained between Artarmon and Wollstonecraft at all times), thus perhaps misleading me into thinking that station creation was not important to the theory.
		If all I knew about the North Shore Line was the order of the stations and the fact that the order was static, I wouldn't have much understanding of it.

		Skokie's Greyhound station is in the former station house of the Chicago North Shore interurban.
		Red Line trains use Tracks 2 and 3, the center pair of tracks, and stop at island platforms between those center tracks at every station on this segment of the line, with the exception of Sheridan (more on Sheridan when we get there).
		The North Shore interurban had a station here too; evidence of this is the platform on Track 1 well to our right.

		The whole North Shore line used to be beautiful, now it looks like a rubbish dump for the most part.

		In 1916, the railroad was sold to utilities tycoon Samuel Insull and the name was changed to the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad, a.k.a.
		Since Insull also owned a controlling interest in the "L" it was only natural that the North Shore Line trains would be allowed to run all the way to Chicago's Loop via the "L" tracks; this began on August 1, 1919.
		In 1941, the NSL introduced the streamlined, articulated Electroliners in an effort to compete with the streamlined CandNW 400s and the Milwaukee Road Hiawathas.
